Florentino Pérez, the only candidate, has been proclaimed president of the Real Madrid once the term established by the Electoral Board, which met last night, has concluded.
In the minutes signed at 12:01 am on April 13, the Board, chaired by José Manuel de Carlos Grau, certified: “No more than a candidacy proclaimed by this Electoral Board and by virtue of article 40, section E, point 2 of the club’s current bylaws, Florentino Pérez Rodríguez is proclaimed president of Real Madrid “.
Florentino Pérez will therefore continue as president of Real Madrid for a new term, sixth, until 2025.
In his second stage in the presidency, starting in 2009, Florentino Pérez has been always reelected unopposed.
To be an official candidate for the presidency, you must wear at least 20 years as a club member and endorse the 15 percent of the Real Madrid budget.
On April 3, coinciding with the match against Eibar, Florentino Pérez fulfilled 1,000 parties as president, a position he has held in two different stages (2000-2006 and 2009 until now) in which he has added 26 titles: five Champions Leagues, five Leagues, five Club World Cups, five Spanish Super Cups, four European Super Cups and two King’s Cups.
Florentino Pérez came to office in 2000, in his second contest for the elections, beating Ramón Mendoza. In 2004 he was re-elected and remained in office until his resignation in 2006.
This first stage is remembered for its galactic transfers -Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham- and for two Leagues and a European Cup, as the most important titles.
Three years after his resignation after the poor results achieved, the Madrid businessman ran for election again and was proclaimed president unopposed. He returned to make brilliant additions with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Kaká and Xabi Alonso to fight against the hegemony of Barcelona trained by Pep Guardiola.
His time in office since then has recorded the best streak in ‘Champions’ of all history with the French Zinedine Zidane on the bench and his three consecutive titles; the first, two years after achieving the long-awaited ‘Tenth’. In addition to three league championships, the last one, the 33rd, last season.
Now the club faces a deep remodeling of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium who wants to put technology and architecture ‘at the forefront’ as a great project as well as big names like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé appear in the agenda of possible signings.
